A 22-year-old man is in police custody after the pensioner he was trying to rob, overpowered him, seized his gun and made a citizen’s arrest.

The 68-year-old victim was in the kitchen of his Hillsdale Crescent, Mt Hope home on November 16, around 12.45 pm when he saw an armed man with a rifle in his yard.

The gunman barged into the house through the front door and announced a robbery.
